“I ran into the perfect exemplification of “Murphy's law” at one university, where everything that could go wrong did!”
“Thus we find⟳ that Murphy's Law is not a coincidence at all, but the consequence of a deep ‘anthropomurphic^([sic]) principle’: any universe built along conventional lines that contains intelligent polymurphs will conform to Murphy's Law.”
“‘It was an application of Murphy's Law,’ said one Vatican dignitary in a resigned voice. What was Murphy's Law? ‘Murphy's Law,’ said the dignitary, ‘is that everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong.’”
